Training on responsible use of antimicrobials in poultry
Scope of the seminar: Antibiotic Reduction. Many poultry producers reduce antimicrobial use in order to comply with antibiotic resistance reduction programs. During this training you will learn that by targeting the most economic operation lower antibiotic use will be a spillover. This turns the topic instead of a liability into a positive driver for your business.
